Eye-fixation patterns in homonymous hemianopia and unilateral spatial neglect

Eye-fixation patterns while viewing simple patterns were quantitatively analysed in homonymous hemianopic subjects with or without unilateral spatial neglect (USN), using an eye camera. Hemianopic subjects without USN used the strategy to look at the hemianopic side of the patterns longer in order to compensate for their visual field defect. However, those with USN lacked this compensatory eye-fixation pattern.
